A duo of multi-instrumentalists and vocalists playing original material, folk rock covers and unique arrangments of traditional songs and tunes.
"Excellent...superb stuff" - Johnny Coppin on BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
Runners up in the Bands & Duos section of the 2007 National Folk Quest Competition run by Saul Folk on the Water Festival, BBC Radio Gloucestershire & Entsweb.
Our debut album, Childhood Substitute has been described as "A rich and impressive sound tapestry, proclaiming that the art of song-writing lives on." - Moira Gilchrist.
"Master of None are a duo you must see. Alex has a gorgeous voice.
Howard’s soft, sensitive guitar work complements their blend of voices perfectly and their songs are carried along with wonderful flute accompaniment. They sing the best of traditional songs and their own songs are well crafted and heartfelt. Listen out especially for “Lent.” They are a likeable couple and they make you feel better than you did before they sang".
David Swann (Singer/Songwriter) review of our gig at Monmouth Folk Club 1st December 2006.
"Boosted by Alex’s clear voice and some wonderful harmonies, their music is warm, romantic and uplifting."

Thank you for accepting! New album out early 2010, limited edition acoustic CD available to order now but stocks are low. All the best for the festive season Andrea xx www.andreaglass.co.uk
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; "Broken-roofed buildings" are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Hallo and thank you for your friendship! Your music is great! Please visit my HP: www. cultevents. de and sign the guestbook if you like!
Music has always been a place where anything is possible - a refuge, a magical world where anyone can go, all kinds of people can come together, and anything can happen. We are limited only by our imagination. I believe that what we do and learn inside the world of music can affect what goes on in the world in a big, positive way. music is so important - like food and water. There are so many possibilities, and many doors yet to be opened. (Bill Frisell)
Ciao Jörg
